Teen Mom: The Next ChapterSeason 2B premiered to less than stellar numbers. The show, which has some of fan-favorites from16 & Pregnantandthe originalTeen Momon it, shows theirlives as adults in their mostly 30s, all raising their children and navigatingfailing relationships, custody battles, and more.But the premiere episode ofthe reality seriesbrought in only 205,000 viewers.

The flagship series, at its height, was bringing in millions of viewers per episode. ButThe Next Chapterhas not had the same luck, especially recently. And with cast likeMaci Bookouttalking about leaving and thedrama surroundingJenelle Evansreturn to the show in the middle ofher messy divorce, it isunclear if the ratings will changeor continue to go down as the series goes on. But, in comparison, the new premiere episode forThe Challengewas about 100,000 viewers higher than that ofThe Next Chapter.
Bookout has opened upabout the potential of leaving the show and even shared a sad realization about it, saying that if she did leave, she’d still be connected to the series. “I quickly realize that just because I wouldn’t be on the show doesn’t mean that everything that comes with the show goes away… if I take the blessing away, the curse doesn’t go away,” she toldThe Cut. So many of the former teens who have been on television since they were in high school are kind of stuck at this point. At this time, there isno newswhether or not MTV has any plans of finally endingTeen Mom.
